New ESL-Certified esports rig makes it easier to join the PC gaming elite

The esports revolution continues to gather steam in the mainstream, with major television networks clamouring over the rights to broadcast the more illustrious tournaments.

However, for those aspiring esports stars who are less au fait with the technical aspects of high-end gaming, acquiring the hardware necessary to compete at the top level can be a bit of a minefield.

UK retailers Currys PC World is hoping to make that easier by selling the ESL Certified Esports PC, which has been built in association with Intel. The first ESL-branded gaming PC promises the performance necessary to handle the major competitive games, including CS:GO, Rainbow Six Siege, League of Legends and Hearthstone.
